This as a Jellyfin plugin would be awesome!

Do a lot of scraping at work. Curious how you handle simulating UI interactions? Or if I can supply cookies in my requests?

I really want something like this that will work for pages behind a login. Would love it for my bank and credit card transactions all in one place, without having to use a 3rd party data mining service.

Love that goalkeeper line. 100% my experience with so many SaaS companys.

@netlify I hope you see this. You are terrible at the buyer-pull. We want log shipping, but to get that, we have to go into the "enterprise" tier... We are a startup with very little money, and what is log shipping worth to us? Not hundreds a month. Honestly it's worth a little less than whatever the cost of us moving to Vercel is (where log shipping is not part of enterprise).

So now I've now been through multiple sales emails from them trying to get me on a call to "discuss how we can help you" which I know is just going to be Netlify trying to upsell me into a bunch of "enterprise" features we don't need. Just tell me the price and let me click a button to enable it!

This looks like exactly what I need, but our DB is Postgres on Supabase and I don’t think their version supports transaction locking…

Would love to be able to have this buy my the flight at an optimal purchase time. Like I say “LAX to JFK for Jan 10th to Jan 15th, between $400 and $600” and it will wait until that is seen and then buy for me. That would be a real new feature.

As a fan, I’d say these guys are doing some incredible things. If you have a fit here, I encourage you to apply.

As the poor sap who’s had to build lots of these types of sites, I’ll tell you that it’s not the devs that want this. It’s the damn client that keeps complaining about the “gravity” or the “momentum” or the “scroll speed” of the site. Locomotive.JS being the main thing clients want us to use… no amount of explanation of all your valid points will persuade them if “this one cool site we like had it”.

I will say this… the scroll speed being different between Chrome, Safari and Firefox doesn’t help our cause… wish these were normalized at the very least so we can avoid “it feels better in X, but we use Y browser” notes.

Allowing an easing function API for scroll would be a middle ground I could live with. It’s better than what we have now (a bunch of award winning sites emulating scroll with translates).

At my agency we probably build two custom sites a month. We used to do this with PHP WordPress templates, then we moved to Nuxt server side rendered on Node (Heroku), but now we are all static site Nuxt on Netlify and it’s SO MUCH better. Headless WordPress as backend. As long as you/client can deal with the build times it’s fantastic from a speed, SEO and uptime POV. Also just way cheaper to host it. Incremental Static Generation seems like the ideal solution, looking forward to that with Nuxt 3.

I assumed the point of this product was to buy it in a tax deferred account, then loan against it. You’d have zero risk of a margin call ever happening. Then after you’re dead it’s a guaranteed payoff of the loan. Would be a very very cheap way to convert your tax deferred accounts into tax free liquid cash now.

Fantastic summary of Gutenberg’s mistakes. They also completely missed the Headless CMS movement when they designed Gutenberg this way.

Having said all of that, we use Headless WordPress for many many client projects and have got it working really well for us. For us it’s much better than Sanity, Craft and Prismic. The WP-GQL plugin and ACF are really amazing.

SEEKING FREELANCER

At my company Funkhaus, we are looking to hire a freelancer that understands Gatsby and the Sanity CMS. Just need a 3-8 hours of your time to have you explain to our team how Gatsby and Sanity work together. Would want you to explain a code base to us that we inherited. Must be able to get on a screenshare and explain it to us, so English is a must.

Email me [email protected] please, ready to start ASAP.
